Texting while driving increases crash risk 23 times

I'm not going to lie, these posts by jlee were the best of the thread. Love when someone comes out of nearly nowhere with genius work.

 

Right. On. The. Screws.

 

Indeed.

 

Honestly, someone needed a study to figure this out?

What ever happened to common sense?

What's next: "Study reveals that driving while blindfolded can be dangerous"?

It shows that people don't take driving as the serious responsibility that it is. And that's the biggest reason we have so many freakin' wrecks.

 

Seatbelt laws and motorcycle helmet laws are un-American.

If someone doesn't want to wear a seatbelt or a helmet, that is their business not yours or the government's.

 

No, I wrongly assumed you had a brain and at least some degree of ability to think logically and like an adult.

There are obviously procedures in place - i.e age restrictions and a process of testing - to obtain a license to drive.

It is sort of like drinking a beer -- there is an age restriction, once someone is old enough, get the fuck out of their business.

 

Yeah, we can save the money and manpower spent on those pesky breathalyzers and those safety road blocks. No need for Josh Hancock or Leonard Little to be sui generis.

 

Priceless.

Are they un-Canadian, too?

Oh, no, that doesn't work because we're socilists!!

 

You're unreal.

You've just proven 1) driving is not a right and 2) you still don't know the difference between a right and a privilege.

 

Is that how you guys are spelling it these days? I master "colour", "centre" and "defence" and now you throw another curveball?

 

As Stuart Scott would say: Thanks for the dap, yo. And I had to look up "The World According to Garp."

 

What in the world according to Garp? Those are my dress towels!
